Definitions

  • the present invention relates to games and is especially but not exclusively applicable to methods and devices for playing instant win gaming tickets.
  • One method of providing entertainment to instant lottery game players is by having instant lottery games attempt to replicate the thrill of playing the more traditional wagering games such as blackjack, roulette, slots, and other similar games.
  • one aspect that instant win gaming tickets have not been able to replicate is the wagering aspect of such traditional games.
  • players only win set amounts for each instant win game they play.
  • For some instant win gaming tickets there could be multiple games per ticket.
  • a player's maximum possible prize is set—a player does not increase his potential winnings by winning more games. The player is not given the chance to wager more for each game and, consequently, his chances of winning a larger prize is not increased. “Streaks” of luck or consecutive games won are not rewarded.
  • This feature of being able to wager more on an instant win game would, if available, entice more players to play the instant win gaming tickets. Furthermore, such an enhancement would increase the entertainment value of the games for the players.
  • the present invention seeks to provide methods and apparatus for playing an instant win gaming ticket.
  • An instant win gaming ticket has multiple instant win games which can be played by the player. The amount won per game is dependent on the results of at least one previous game on the same ticket. The player plays the games on a single ticket and the amount the player wins for each game depends on whether previously played games on the same ticket were won or lost.
  • the present invention provides an instant win gaming ticket having indicia defining at least two instant win games, a first one of the at least two instant win games having associated therewith a predetermined prize for a win result wherein a distinct prize for at least one of the at least two instant win games other than the first one is determined based on a result of at least one other instant win game on the ticket.
  • the present invention provides a method of allocating prizes for playing a plurality of games, the method comprising increasing prize amounts awarded after every game played based on a number of games won.
  • prize amounts awarded after every game played is based on a number of consecutive games won.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates an instant win gaming ticket using a system according to one embodiment of the invention
  • FIG. 2 illustrates an alternative instant win gaming ticket using a different game type to the instant gaming ticket illustrated in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 illustrates yet a second alternative instant win gaming ticket using a third different game type to the instant gaming ticket illustrated in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 4 illustrates a third alternative instant win gaming ticket simultaneously using multiple different game types
  • FIG. 5 illustrates a fourth alternative instant win gaming tickets using a modified prize amount allocation scheme.
  • an instant win gaming ticket 10 is illustrated.
  • the ticket 10 has a win table 20 , betting number columns 30 A, 30 B, a wager column 40 A, 40 B, player's result columns 50 A, 50 B, and dealer/house result columns 60 A, 60 B.
  • the win table 20 indicates the possible prizes or prize amounts if a given set of conditions are fulfilled by the results of the games on the ticket 10 .
  • the betting number columns 30 A, 30 B serve as reference points by which the player can track the games being played.
  • the wager columns 40 a , 40 B indicate the amounts being wagered for each game and, concomitantly, the distinct or specific possible prize identifiable with each game.
  • the player's result columns 50 A, 50 B indicate the game result for the player. This result is to be compared to the entry in the dealer/house result columns 60 a , 60 B to determine if the player has won a particular game.
  • columns 50 A, 50 B, 60 A, 60 B are covered prior to a player purchasing or obtaining the ticket. These columns may be uncovered in any sequence but preferably sequentially to effectively play the games.
  • the ticket is divided into three areas—one area for the first set of games (columns 30 A, 40 A, 50 A, 60 A), a second area for a second set of games (columns 30 B, 40 B, 50 B, 60 B), and a third area for the win table 20 .
  • each row in a particular area denotes a single game.
  • the single game type to be played is a simulation of the well-known game of roulette.
  • the object is for the player result (as shown in columns 50 A, 50 B) to match the wheel result (as shown in columns 60 A, 60 B).
  • the prize for winning game G is $ 70.
  • an ace represented by a letter A
  • a “face” card (a king, queen, or jack as represented by the letters K, Q, and J respectively) is given a value of 10.
  • the player only wins in hand F for the game ticket in FIG. 2. It should be noted that the player's total columns 80 A, 80 B and the dealer's columns 70 A 70 B are covered prior to the player's playing the game ticket.
  • FIG. 3 instead of a card game or another game of chance, the results of a football season or a series of football games is simulated on the game ticket.
  • the idea behind this type of a game ticket is that the player will wager on the outcome of a sporting event.
  • the sport is American football with the teams of the National Football League being represented on the ticket.
  • Each row denotes a single football game.
  • Wager columns denotes the wager on the game while team columns 140 A, 140 B note the teams playing the particular game for that particular row.
  • the player's bet columns denote the preselected teams that the player is “betting” to win. This column may or may not be covered prior to the playing of the game or purchase of the ticket.
  • the game result columns 160 A, 160 B are covered prior to the purchase of the game ticket. As can be seen, the game result columns 160 A, 160 B notes who won the particular football game.
  • the object of the game for the FIG. 3 ticket is for the player's bet to match the game result.
  • a player's preselected bet entry matches the entry for a game result, then the player has won the game.
  • the player has won games A, C, D, E, F, G, and H.
  • the player has thus had a streak of 6 consecutive wins of games C to H.
  • the longer a player's streak of consecutive wins the larger is the ultimate wager per game and therefore, the larger the possible prize amount. This would be denoted in a win table 170 .
  • the prize amount for winning a single game is double the amount wagered.
  • the amount wagered is $5 as in game A of the ticket in FIG. 3, winning that game results in a payout of $10 for the player.
  • the progressive nature of the wagering with each wager dependent on the result of the immediately preceding game, results in an increasingly larger prize amount as the number of consecutive games won increases.
  • Four consecutive games won results in cumulative winnings of $260 with the prize amount for the fourth game being $150.
  • the amount wagered on the fourth hand was therefore $75.
  • the given total does not include the $10 won in game A.
  • n number of games won consecutively
  • Equation 2 The variables in Equation 2 are as defined for Equation 1.
  • the increase in the prize amounts between consecutively won games is geometric in pattern with the variable y denoting how fast or how slow the increase is in the winnings.
  • y the larger the cumulative prize amounts.
  • the increase in prize amounts between two consecutive prize amounts is a multiple of a previous increase.
  • the prize amount for 4 consecutive games won is $150 while the prize amount for 3 consecutive games won is $70.
  • the increase between these two prize amounts is $80—a multiple of the prize amount increase ($40) between prize amounts for two games won ($30) and three games won ($70).
  • This fixed multiplier between increases prize amounts is due to the geometric progression between the increases.
  • FIG. 4 an alternative type of gaming ticket is illustrated which also uses a progressive type method of awarding prizes.
  • the object is to simulate games that may be played in a casino. As such, four types of games, blackjack, roulette, keno, and poker are represented. For keno, the object is to match all five numbers that the dealer/house is given while conventional poker need not be explained here.
  • the wager columns 180 A, 180 B denote the wagers for each game with wagers increasing for consecutive wins. However, the wagers increase only for consecutive games won of the same type.
  • consecutive poker games won increase the player's prize but consecutive dissimilar games won, such as blackjack and roulette, do not increase the player's prize.
  • the amount a player may win still depends on whether a previous game was won or not but a caveat exists in that the previous game has to be of the same type as the game currently being played.
  • FIG. 5 Another alternative configuration for a gaming ticket is that illustrated in FIG. 5.
  • the gaming ticket configuration in FIG. 5 simulates a slot machine.
  • Column 190 documents the wagers for every slot game on the ticket while column 200 documents the gaming index letter.
  • Columns 210 A, 210 B, 210 C, 210 D indicate the player's simulated slot machine results.
  • the prize amount allocation for this game may be different from that of the gaming tickets illustrated in the previous figures. For the previous gaming tickets, each game was either completely won or lost. For slots, it is possible to have a partial win and be accorded a proportionate prize.
  • the wining combinations for the slot machine may be documented in a win table 220 , an example of which is reproduced in Table 2: Result: 3 fruits 4 fruits Two Three Four of the of the Jackpots! Jackpots! Jackpots! same kind same kind Prize: Double the Triple the 1.5 times the Triple the Five times wager wager wager wager the wager
  • the above invention should provide increased enjoyment to instant wins game ticket players. As further inducement to purchase and play these games, one possible caveat to the wagering on the ticket is that players do not lose any prizes they win regardless of any wagers they make in subsequent games. As an example, using the game tickets in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3 , if a player wins games A, B, and C and, and because of the progressive nature of the wagering, the wager for game D is the amount won for game C, if the player loses game D, he does not lose his winnings for game C. The only drawback for the player is that his wager for game E is not very large since his winnings for game D is zero.
  • An alternative to the above scheme is to have a feature in the gaming ticket such that a player loses some or all of his previous winnings if he loses a game. Thus, the player must, before playing a game, decide whether to continue playing or to redeem any winnings he may already have.
